If you're looking to buy some German rear lights or even MHWs, it's almost guaranteed that buying from German Ebay is cheaper, so here's how to do it if you can't speak a word of German.
Tools
Ebay www.ebay.de
Translator babelfish.yahoo.com
Step 1
Go to www.ebay.de and you will be taken to the home screen
![]()
Step 2
It's best to log in, you'll understand why later, so to log in click Einloggen by the Ebay logo, and you will be taken to this familiar screen
![]()
Just log in with your usual Ebay credentials - they work on all of Ebay's international sites
Step 3
Once you log in you'll be taken back to the homepage, now we can start searching. The name 'Corsa' is the same in both German and English, so type Corsa into the search bar

Step 4
Now, because we are looking for aftermarket rear lights and not standard ones, click on Auto-Tuning & -Styling
![]()
Now here, click on Designleuchten & Lichter to get to the aftermarket lights section
Step 5
You will now be at the lights section
![]()
But to narrow it down even more, click on Heckleuchte in the catagories section to be taken to the rear lights
Step 6
Now we see all manner of lights, but make sure you look under the price. In green I have highlighted what you want to see, because you logged in Ebay knows you are British, so is showing you the price to ship the item to Britain, if it says what I have highlighted in red, then it means the seller has provided no shipping price to Britain, and most likely doesn't ship to Britain.

Step 7
Once you have found the lights of your dreams, click Versand und Zahlungsmethoden to verify the shipping costs and that they do in fact ship to Britain
![]()
and as you can see, yes they do for 24,90€. As before, because you logged in, it knows you are British so automatically shows you the British shipping costs

Step 8
Buy the product, and then click 'Pay Now'. Most of Germany uses Auktion Master.de , this is an Ebay run website, and is trusted.
When you first get to Auktion Master, you will see the product you are buying:

Step 11
You will then be taken to the PayPal website where you should enter your PayPal details

Result
Some low priced top quality lights
Update 15/09/10
I noticed today that even if it says they have supplied no shipping information, they may still ship to the UK. So it's worth looking on the item page, because I've seen some MHW's (look a like probably, but still) for 75€ delivered, it's just that it says they ship to Britain on the item page, rather than the delivery page
